Why? Ochams razor does not need convoluted arguments.
Your choices are.
1. There really is a divine/spirit/god world.
Or.
2. Humans make them up.
I didn't consciously choose what my talents would be. Nor do I have the personality I personally selected. But there needn't be a talent world where my talents come from nor a personality world from which spring all my quirks. It is something within and about people but not a result of their conscious intentions. I think god belief is like that. To deal with god belief as a deliberate misrepresentation by theists really is choosing to deal with religion in a very superficial, straw man way. In that case, why bother?
